Chapter Twenty-Three: The Day Ahead
Yunlu Lake.
"Sister Zhao, look at the move. A plump girl with a double ponytail shouted at the center of the lake, who was playing with several girls next to her.
Zhao Tianjue turned around when he heard the sound, only to see a huge ball of water falling from the sky, just pressing on Zhao Tianjue's head.
"Plop!"
The water balloon smashed down, and a huge splash splashed, rippling layer by layer, but Zhao Tianjue's figure was nowhere to be seen.
Zhao Tianjue was also caught off guard by this huge water ball, the water balloon sank vigorously but did not cause her any damage, just smashed her under the lake.
Just as she struggled, ready to swim out of the lake for revenge, she saw a familiar figure out of her sight.
Zhao Tianjue frowned, and after thinking for a moment, he tentatively swam towards the figure.
Waiting for Zhao Tianjue's figure, Zhao Tianjue's eyes widened, covering his mouth, with an incredible expression.
The person in front of him is Bai Chen, who has been missing for months!
"Bai Chen!" Zhao Tianjue blurted out subconsciously, she stepped forward, but she didn't see any reaction from Bai Chen, she began to be a little anxious in her heart, and picked up Bai Chen's body and swam towards the lake.
The girls in the lake didn't see Zhao Tianjue's figure for a long time, so they began to be a little worried, and just as they were about to dive to the bottom of the lake, they saw Zhao Tianjue swimming up with a man.
"It's ...... White Dust?!"
All the girls in the lake recognized Bai Chen's appearance, and Bai Chen disappeared when he took the final test, and then Zhao Tianjue won the top spot, and he disappeared for several months, but at this moment he appeared from the bottom of the lake, and everyone looked at each other.
Zhao Tianjue held Bai Chen in one hand, turned his head and said to the girls in the lake, "Go ashore first." ”
Then she jumped and went straight to the shore.
"Good. The maidens answered, put on their clothes, and came to the shore in unison.
Everyone surrounded Bai Chen at this moment, looking at the unconscious Bai Chen, their hearts were full of curiosity.
Zhao Tianjue stretched out his hand and put it under Bai Chen's nose, but there was no breath in and out.
She looked up at everyone with an ugly face and shook her head.
"I'll listen to his heartbeat. A hot girl said.
She said, leaning her ear against Bai Chen's chest.
"Knock! knock!"
The girl frowned at the sound of her heartbeat beating faster and faster, and she got up and wondered, "There is still a heartbeat, but it beats so fast." ”
Everyone was stunned when they heard this, Zhao Tianjue looked at Bai Chen, but saw two nosebleeds slowly flowing out of her nostrils, her frowning brows let go at this time, and she said jokingly: "Sisters, since Bai Chen is dead, then notify the city lord and the dean, and choose a good cemetery for Bai Chen to bury him as soon as possible." ”
"Oh, I'll go. When a somewhat wooden girl heard this, she hurriedly got up and was about to go.
At this moment, Bai Chen, who had been pretending to be dead, knew that it might be bad if he continued to pretend, so he coughed embarrassedly twice and slowly opened his eyes.
"This, where?" In line with the principle of doing a full set of acts, Bai Chen decided to carry out his acting skills to the end at this moment, and he asked pretending to have amnesia.
"Where, Deng disciple, still playing with the old lady! Look at the feet!" Zhao Tianjue scolded, and everyone around him also reacted, and then a white flower foot kicked Bai Chen back into the lake.
Bai Chen looked at the beautiful figures helplessly, wiped a handful of nosebleeds, and looked at the blood in his hands with a surprised expression.
A place of trials.
Bai Chen followed behind Zhao Tianjue and the others, frowning and lowering his head, thinking about something.
At this moment, the place of trial has already stationed three thousand elite soldiers under Yu Xuanhou, and there are many Xuan Array masters arranging something.
As soon as Bai Chen's figure appeared, everyone stopped what they were doing, and thousands of eyes focused on Bai Chen's body.
At this moment, Bai Chen was unaware of it, still deep in thought.
When he came back to his senses, Marquis Yuxuan, the city lord, the dean and others had already come to him.
Bai Chen raised his head and looked at the giants in Cloud City in front of him, his face was pale and his breath was weak.
"It's okay. Yu Xuanhou patted Bai Chen's shoulder.
Bai Chen nodded immediately, then lowered his head and remained silent.
Zhao Tianjue on the side looked at Bai Chen's appearance, and he just wanted to feel pity in his heart, but when he remembered the previous Yunlu Lake, Zhao Tianjue sighed, admiring Bai Chen's acting skills in his heart.
Subsequently, Zhao Tianjue told Yuxuanhou and the city lord about the white dust at the bottom of the lake, but she didn't say anything about the white dust in Yunlu Lake pretending to be dead.
Bai Chen was on the side, and he could hear what Zhao Tianjue said clearly, but just when he was worried and thinking of excuses, he saw that Zhao Tianjue did not say anything about the future.
He looked at Zhao Tianjue, but found that Zhao Tianjue was also looking at him and winked at him secretly.
"Bai Chen, were you in the land of trials on the day of your accident, but did you see anything?" asked Bai Chen after listening to what Zhao Tianjue said.
Bai Chen glanced at Zhao Tianjue, and then said: "I was going to enter the Xuan Array to cultivate that day, but as soon as I arrived, black and purple flames fell from the sky, and then the dragon stone statue seemed to come to life, and I don't know what happened next." ”
Yu Xuanhou listened to Bai Chen's words, his eyes widened, and he said in a trembling voice: "You mean that the dragon stone statue has come to life?"
Bai Chen nodded, he was taken aback by Yu Xuanhou's overreaction, after all, the things he saw in his dream were even more incredible, the weather was majestic, the heavens and the earth were overturned, and the sun and moon were reshaped, all of which he was used to.
After hearing the news, the city lord, the dean and the others on the side all changed their expressions in an instant.
"You two go to find out the origin of the black and purple flame, I am going to enter Beijing now, this matter is not trivial, someone has already started one step ahead of us, we must speed up our actions!" Yu Xuanhou said in a deep voice to the city lord and the dean.
When Yu Xuanhou's voice fell, everyone hurriedly took action, and Bai Chen and Zhao Tianjue were left aside.
Because now, compared to the appearance of Bai Chen, the awakening of the dragon is related to the luck of the Great Xia Dynasty, which is more important.
Seeing that Yu Xuanhou did not ask the truth, but believed his words, Bai Chen's hanging heart fell, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhao Tianjue tilted his head to look at Bai Chen with his hands behind his back, and whispered, "How are you going to repay me?"
"There is no way to repay the great kindness, you and I will come to Japan for a long time. Bai Chen bowed to Zhao Tianjue and said in a deep voice.
Then Bai Chen left Zhao Tianjue with a dashing back, and Zhao Tianjue also watched Bai Chen escape helplessly.
During the period of Bai Chen's disappearance, all the forces tried their best to search for his traces, except for the top figures such as Yuxuan Hou and the city lord, it was Jin Zhan who contributed the most, and he led the Jin family to search Cloud City and several surrounding cities, and they did their best without sleep for several days and nights.
After the news of Bai Chen's appearance spread, he found Bai Chen as soon as possible.
The two brothers hadn't seen each other for a long time, and they hugged each other deeply, and drank in the courtyard of Baichen Yunlu Academy.
